We are using Alias to model our geometries.

Seems to me that the best way to get the info (geometries, textures
and animations) from Alias to Performer is through the "wire" or
"sdl" file. I whould tend to go with the "sdl" file, since it is
an ASCII file...

Anybody got a better idea ?

You may use the AliasToIv convertor which convert wire format before loading
it in Performer through the Inventor loader. This convertor is able to
convert quite everything from the Alias scene (NURBS, polygons, textures,
lights, camera in the Inventor format readable by Performer as well).

This convertor is available in the SGI xlators_3d distribution source in
IRIX 6.2.
